I just wanted to thank eveyone involved in the north Iowa tour. Looks like you guys have everything in line. So glad to see some expansion in the state. We as WAK PAK are very greatefull for being invited to be the vendor at a few of these dates. We would also ask to serve you all better that you let us know your wish list basically and we will try to provide it. Again the WAK PAK thanks everyone involved for the opportunity to vend and have a real good excuse to get north and play these courses.

Hole 2 has not changed. It still has that weird setup and there is still no bridge. I'm thinking about playing #1 and then #9, then going across the bridge by the road, putting in a temp hole and then a temp tee for #2. This is just an idea. I haven't been out there lately to really check everything out.

Cool. When I first played that caourse and was on hole 9 it made me wonder about the land on the other side. As far as 2 goes, you cant throw a tournament there without reseting either the basket or the tee.

Sweet! No we don't know the entry fees yet for each tournament for sure. The N.I.T. Staff is having a meeting in January to get together and finalize everything. I think we want to keep most of the tournaments uniform with everything including the entry fees. So they will probably be the same at each tournament. But we have to figure out what that will be. I would say in the range of 10 to 20 for the am divisions and about 30 for the open division.

Now we just need to get started! Can't wait for March 27th to get here!

For the most part we are going to run/organize all of the tournaments as close to the same as possible. The only things that might be a little different is the number of rounds and holes per round. All tournaments will play at least 36 holes. Whether it is 3 rounds of 12, 2 rounds of 18, or 4 rounds of 9. Forest City will play 2 rounds of 21 holes that is the only tournament that will play more than 36 holes.

Here is some basic info that all North Iowa Tour Tournaments will have in common.

There will be a $1 N.I.T. Fee included in all Entry Fees.
Some Tournaments may elect to have a $1 Club Fee included also.

Ace Funds will carry forward to next N.I.T. Tournament if no Aces are hit. But we are going to cap the Ace Fund at $100 and start a 2nd Ace Fund if we get to that point. These courses are pretty short!!!!!!!!! Tons of chances for Aces!

Again this is basic info that should remain the same for all of the N.I.T. Tournaments. But you will definately want to check out the thread for each individual tournament for specific details and if anything happens to vary from this!

They helped cover a portion of the cost of the trophies for all of the tournaments. All 7 N.I.T. Tournaments will have trophies for the winner of each Division! We also have a big trophy for the Male & Female Tour Champions (Winners of the Tour Finals), and Plaques for the Male & Female Points Leaders in the Tour Standings at the end of the year. Trophies were ordered Wednesday Night and should be here on Monday March 15th in time for the start of the year in Thornton on March 27th!

Wak Pak Disc Golf (Ames, IA) is donating some CTP prizes at each of the Tournaments they are vending for! So those tournaments will have additional CTP prizes that everyone will have a chance to win besides the N.I.T. CTP for only Tour Members to win.

J&J Disc Golf (Austin, MN) has donated all of the N.I.T. CTP prizes!

So those are our 3 SPONSORS that we have for the N.I.T. so far! And we aren't done yet!

I am really excited to get this started in a couple of weeks! Good to see the snow start melting away!
